But Cuomo and his deformer buddies seem to want EVERY teacher targeted - thus the outside observers. <br /><br />What I want to know is, what would the price tag of this be? Where are these outside observers coming from? And how many teachers will film the lessons that the observers come for, just in case it's used as a gotcha?reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-83794701215032239632015-01-31T11:33:20.111-05:002015-01-31T11:33:20.111-05:00It would depend on the principal and whether or no...It would depend on the principal and whether or not the teacher has been selected as a target.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-72911570753623732652015-01-31T11:14:24.279-05:002015-01-31T11:14:24.279-05:00Issue is, Cuomo and his deformer buddies are using...Issue is, Cuomo and his deformer buddies are using CCSS test scores, which were rigged to have 70% failure rates, as if they are the Ten Commandments Moses brought down from the Mount.<br /><br />They want public to believe since test scores are so poor, teachers must suck too.<br /><br />Many parents know this isn't true - the parent pushback against CCSS and the tests that King and Tisch experienced shows that.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-22139645887841016302015-01-31T11:12:42.661-05:002015-01-31T11:12:42.661-05:00Cuomo says his only outside income was the $700K f...Cuomo says his only outside income was the $700K from Murdoch for his book that sold very few copies.<br /><br />I think for Cuomo, the bigger problem is the subpoenas to his own donors that Larry Schwartz, his secretary, had "pulled back" by the Moreland Commission, which suggests Cuomo was worried his own corruption commission would find his own corruption AND the overnight shutdown of Moreland in return for a budget deal, which suggests a quid pro quo if Cuomo knew about the info Moreland found about Silver. <br /><br />Since Regina Calcaterra was feeding Cuomo everything that happened on the commission, it's likely he knew that they had some unsavory stuff on Silver.<br /><br />I'd say, if Bharara wants to bag him a governor, he probably can.<br /><br />Remains to be seen if he wants to go that far or will be happy with just taking out Silver (and maybe Skelos.)reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-91005906211223698052015-01-31T10:26:58.558-05:002015-01-31T10:26:58.558-05:00Or Cuomo?Or Cuomo?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-88537960956286625152015-01-31T06:30:42.830-05:002015-01-31T06:30:42.830-05:00Or, teachers generally do a competent job and thei...Or, teachers generally do a competent job and their evaluations would reflect that.
